Offering
As the core organization of a movement, the Union can offer experience-sharing sessions on each of its main activities:

- How to choose the right strategy for scaling up: diversification, duplication, fertilization, cooperation, merger?
- How to sustain and strengthen a movement's shared culture?
- How can we strengthen cooperation between people and organizations?
- How can we strengthen organizational capacities?
- How to support the emergence of new structures?
- How to coordinate and manage national programs?
- How to measure the impact of educational projects?

We are also able to target and link European players with local associations according to project priorities.
Looking for
The Union is the core network of the e-graine popular education movement, which is part of the “education for world citizenship” reference framework developed by Unesco. Its vocation is to increase the social impact of the associative project, to support existing associations, to expand into new territories, to manage national programs and to represent e-graine on a national and European scale.Convinced that cooperative ventures can accelerate the transition to a fairer, more united and more responsible world, e-graine aims to strengthen the impact of its regional actions through educational, strategic and structured partnerships. What we’re aiming for, through our educational activities inspired by active pedagogy, is a social and political transformation which encourages individuals to act on different levels: individual, interpersonal and collective.Our activities are structured around 4 priority areas of intervention:

1 / A fairer ecological transition: in the wake of recent decades marked by growth that is unsustainable given planetary limits, we advocate resource management based on sobriety and conviviality.

2 / More inclusive societies: Beyond economic, social, political and environmental crises, the current crisis is a crisis of cosmopolitanism (from the Greek cosmos, world, and politês, citizen), in which we can no longer think of ourselves as humans inhabiting the same planet. For this reason, it seems urgent to us to revive our sense of belonging to a common humanity by developing new local and international solidarities.

3 / A more virtuous economy: While part of our current economic system is centered on finance, the destruction of life and the interests of a minority, we dream instead of a cooperative economy at the service of people and nature. We dream of an economy that regenerates ecosystems, promoted and driven by effective citizen organizations.

4 / A more participatory democracy: In France, as in other countries, the current system of representative democracy is no longer sufficient for citizens. We want a democracy where citizens are an integral part of the political debates and decisions that affect their daily lives and their territory - whether local, national or global. We are convinced of the need to develop spaces for dialogue and new methods to see the emergence of real citizen participation, where everyone can take their place, express themselves and act in a peaceful climate.
